Chapter 5: The Longest-Lived Family in History
After reading this line of blood letters, I was as cold as falling into an ice cave, and a panic spread in my heart.
Although I don't know who wrote this line of blood, but I can feel the strong murderous aura from the blood-red words, the most important thing is, what kind of hatred does the person who wrote this line of blood have with my family, and even threatened to destroy my Zheng family?
Moreover, except for my third uncle, I am already the only seedling of the old Zheng family, how can I say that there are five generations of the Zheng family, one hundred and thirteen people?
Although what was written on the brown paper made me cold, it also filled me with doubts, not only me, but even Officer Li frowned, looked at me with a gloomy face and asked, "What did they ask you to hand over?" ”
I shook my head and said, "My third uncle said that my ancestors are landlords, could it be that my ancestors have hidden some treasures, they have coveted them for a long time, so they are interested in seeing wealth?" ”
"With this possibility, I will have someone take it back for fingerprint verification, rest assured, I will protect your safety!" With that, she took the brown paper back, folded it, and put it in a plastic bag, and I couldn't help but look her up and down.
She looks the same age as me, very tall, only a head shorter than me, about 1.7 meters, although she is wearing a uniform, it is still not difficult to see that she has a pair of proud long legs, although her expression is a little indifferent, but her facial features are extremely exquisite, with a short hair and a uniform on her body, she looks very sassy.
This Officer Li is a woman in the city at first glance, and our village is well-known for her fierce folk customs, can she protect my safety?
"Inside, you're the only one?" I couldn't help but ask, she glanced at me when she heard the words and asked, "What, you can't trust me?" ”
"Oh no, no, no!" I scratched my head and laughed, she continued: "I am on duty tonight, and I am the first to rush over when I receive the alarm call, and I will send someone over if there is such a big incident." By the way, what just happened? ”
I told me what happened before, even about the possible murder of my third uncle, Officer Li frowned after hearing this, and asked: "Do you mean that your third uncle is not dead at all, and the reason why the villagers say that your third uncle died three years ago is to make up a lie, and its purpose is to kill your third uncle?" ”
"That's right!" I nodded: "I have been with my third uncle for the past few days, but my third uncle has not shown up since the accident at my ancestral grave in the second half of the night, and the villagers have also lied since then, saying that my third uncle has died a long time ago." I went to Widow Liu's house to ask about the third uncle, and then Widow Liu's house caught fire, it must have been the third uncle who knew that the villagers wanted to harm him, so he hid in Widow Liu's house, and the villagers should have found him and set a fire! ”
My speculation is not unfounded, since the accident of my ancestral grave, the villagers began to conclude in unison that my third uncle had died a long time ago, but when I went to Widow Liu's house to inquire, Widow Liu seemed very flustered, she must know something. When I went to Widow Liu's house, Zhao Bao most likely followed me, and when they found out that my third uncle might be hiding in Widow Liu's house, and Widow Liu might not help them hide the truth, they simply set a fire and burned my third uncle and Widow Liu to death.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel excited, how did my third uncle offend them, and why did they put people to death like this?
It's not just about killing, it's about punishing your heart!
And now, the incident has escalated again, and it has affected our entire old Zheng family, and even my safety has been threatened.
Why did they do this, who are the people behind the scenes, and what kind of enmity does they have with my family?
The more I thought about it, the more chaotic it became, and even my head began to ache faintly, but Officer Li muttered to himself on the side: "Is it a collective murder?" But what motivates the villagers? ”
Saying this, she turned her head to look at me and asked, "Is there anyone else in your family besides you and your third uncle?" ”
"It's gone!" I said with a lonely look on my face, and her brow furrowed when she heard this.
"Even if your third uncle really didn't die, then your Zheng family is only two people, but why did the people behind the scenes threaten to kill five generations of your Zheng family, a total of one hundred and thirteen people?"
This is also where I am confused, not to mention that I am the only one in my family, even if it is a normal family, Dingtian is only four generations in the same house, five generations in the same house, how old is that?
"You just said that your ancestors had a big landlord?"
Although I don't know why she asked this, I still nodded, and she continued to ask: "This kind of big family should have a genealogy handed down, does your family have a genealogy?" ”
"Genealogy?" I was stunned, I didn't understand what genealogy had to do with all this.
But my family does have a family tree, and my third uncle used to look at the family tree over and over again, and I don't know what I was looking at, I wanted to see it, but my third uncle didn't let me, and every time I finished reading it, it was locked up, as if there was some unsightly secret written on the family tree.
The next moment, my heart suddenly trembled, could it be that there is really any secret hidden in my family tree?
And what the person behind the curtain asked me to hand over was the family tree?
As soon as I thought of this, I hurriedly returned to my house with Officer Lee.
The family tree was locked in the cabinet by the third uncle, and my third uncle always carried the key with him, but this was not difficult for our big police flower, so I saw her lift her trouser leg and pull out the military thorn tied to her calf.
I couldn't help swallowing and foaming at the mouth when I saw this, and my heart said I'll go, this girl looks weirdly beautiful, why is there either a gun or a knife on her body, this Nima can't be a violent maniac!
Just when I looked at her in a daze, I heard a 'bang', but she directly pried open the lock of the cabinet with a military thorn, turned her head to look at me, and when she saw that I was stunned, she said: "What is the hair, don't you take out the family tree quickly!" ”
"Oooh!" I came back to my senses when I heard this, and hurriedly opened the cabinet and rummaged through it.
There are a lot of things in the cabinet, most of them are old objects, and some are stored in boxes, although the boxes are locked, and I can't tell what is inside, but those things that are thrown in the cabinet at will can be seen even by me, a layman, and they must be worth a lot of money.
I can't help but wonder, the third uncle kept saying that he didn't have the money to marry my daughter-in-law, and even took me to dig my family's ancestral grave, but he obviously hid so many valuable things!
Could it be that the third uncle took me to the ancestral tomb not to dig up treasures at all, but for another purpose?
I suddenly remembered the female corpse, could it be that the female corpse was really raised by my grandfather...... Daughter-in-law?
I was taken aback by my strange thoughts, and hurriedly shook my head to shake them out, and then rummaged through the cabinet for a while, but there were too many things in the cabinet, and it was very miscellaneous, and after looking for a while, I finally found the family tree at the bottom of the cabinet.
Other people's genealogies are very old, but my family's genealogy is a scroll, as if it was an ancient holy decree, and the sides of the scroll are even inlaid with gold edges, which is extremely luxurious.
And from this point, it is not difficult to see that my ancestors are indeed extremely prominent, and it may not be just a landlord!
When I opened the scroll, I found that the genealogy was a meter long, and many names were densely written on it.
"It seems that your ancestors are not simple!" Officer Li put away the thorn, then crouched down, and then the light looked carefully, and I hurried over and looked carefully from top to bottom.
Because the third uncle used to always hold the genealogy to read, I have been extremely curious about this genealogy like the holy decree since I was a child, but at this moment, I saw a line of small characters written on the top of the genealogy, the small characters are ancient characters, I can't understand it, but Officer Li is fascinated by it.
In addition, I didn't see anything special, all the names of my ancestors were densely written, and the relationship between the characters was clearly marked, and I even saw my dad, my third uncle's name below, and my name under my dad's name.
"Your family's ancestor is named Zheng He? Ever held an important position in the Ming Dynasty? Could it be that your ancestor was the envoy sent by Ming Chengzu to the West? Officer Li muttered to himself as he watched, "No wonder your family tree is so luxurious, it turns out that your ancestor is the Zheng He who went down to the Atlantic seven times!" But strange, didn't history say that Zheng He was a member of the Internal Affairs Office? The people in the Internal Affairs Office are all eunuchs, how did they pass on the lineage? ”
When I heard this, my face turned dark, I grass, your ancestor is a eunuch, that is, this girl is more beautiful and carries a gun, otherwise I have to beat her!
I sat with a dark face and didn't have the heart to look at it, but she suddenly let out a soft sigh, and then said with a shocked face: "This is impossible! ”
When she said this, her expression was extremely surprised, and her eyes were full of shock, as if she had seen something that made her extremely puzzled.
When I saw this, I asked what was wrong, but she turned her head to look at me with a frightened face, and then said: "From the early years of the Ming Dynasty to the present, your Zheng family has lasted for five generations!" ”
I was confused by what she said, so I asked, "What's wrong with that?" ”
"However, the Ming Dynasty has been more than 600 years ago!"
I was shocked.
For more than 600 years, our Zheng family has only lasted for five generations?
How the is this possible, how long does it take to live for only five generations without breaking the incense?
